The first question is, the motherboard (this forum) is where people are thinking of building their own machine? Otherwise why do you want to talk about motherboard?

Soo.. I build first time pc, after some time I realize that fans spinning too fast without doing nothing. Solution was connect fans to MOBO, then MOBO can control the speed of fans. So I did it. Connected 4 case fans in to one mobo chip (sys fan5 pump), tried tun on the pc, and then it shut down after 2-3 sec. I was able to smell burning. I took every part out to find out where exactly it was burnt and i found it was burnt at the same spot where i pluged in the cable with...

I have problems with this motherboard before, I had similar problem before 2 months.

I fixed that problem by clearing the CMOS, the PC booted OK, and I switched it OFF for later.

Now, just before 1 week I switched it ON, it booted OK, the screen just freezed, I switched it OFF.

Then I tried to switch it ON again but I only get colored screen on booting, nothing else.

I need your help. I have got a problem with plugging the wires on the motherboard. I have had a look on the manual for the motherboard, it didn't tell you where the front panel wire goes. I have got 8 wires for the front LED lights to come on. I want to know where I can plugs the front panel wires to go on the motherboard?

The name of the motherboard I have got is: ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 Rev2.0 AM3+ AMD Motherboard.

These are my two choices below, which one would you guys pick out the two? also please point out any possible cons that you guys can see with them. Not going to Overclock anything crazy. Also not sure if its compatible with my current RAM? (Signature) and if it will fit with my Cyrorig M9i Cooler?

I ask because I installed my very old program in win7 and it opened, but I only have 13 opens left, as I need to register. However, when I clicked on the link to register, there is no such page anymore to register to. So I am very limited in what I can do and when.

Thanks for any help.
